need help with cooling

[crompers]

just ordered this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-052-BG&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1008

cant wait

thing is i know these cards run hot and my power supply only has one molex free so i can only install one fan and my case only allows 80mm.

i have the fan installed on the back of my case just above the graphics card, is it better to have it blowing air in or sucking it out?

thanks

rear fans blow out
If you have a place for another fan just get the right y adapter like in the link.

Almost every computer I've owned, I cut additional fan holes. It's not hard to do with a hole saw or a jig saw.

Or you can move the computer to an open space from an enclosed shelf (the cause of overheating). You can even turn on a floor fan blowing onto the pc.

If your case is in a cool spot, then you can run a program to control the gpu fan:
